So I'm curious where people are buying Empires, and when these games will ship. So if you've pre ordered it from somewhere, can you post where you pre ordered it from, and post when you get your shipping notice? Or if you bought it from a FLGS or whatever, post when the games arrived in store? Some of us (heh) are still trying to figure out where and when to buy the game, and want to get it sooner rather than later. I figured by crowdsourcing this information and by maintaining a thread where people can post links to stores as soon as copies become available, we'll all be able to get Empires as fast as possible.

Yesterday, I visited a local board game store in Utrecht (The Netherlands), but they could not yet give me any information about when Empires arrives here, neither about the English nor the Dutch version.

After reading elsewhere on the forums that it's available on Amazon Prime, with a 1 day processing delay, I decided to order it there, taking a risk that it would ship before the weekend if I paid $8 for one day shipping. Fingers crossed!

Looks like the manufacturer has has pushed the date back again on the item. I just got off the phone with my supplier and they still have not received their order. Just so your aware, when a manufacturer holds the day of release for an item they hold that release until all vendors can receive their product at the same time. So no one vendor gets the items before another. So with that said I will send you a message for shipping as soon as I get the product in my hands. Thanks for your patience.

I ordered Empires from Amazon for a test, and I would have gotten it 5-6 days from the order if from Amazon (this was yesterday, so 4-5 now). Assuming most vendors get the thing at the same time, I assume that is how long it would take to get Empires.

FWIW, I called CSI this morning and they said all the information they have is that it will arrive by the end of July. I canceled my preorder and ordered from Amazon.

Oh, ouch. I actually just emailed them asking the same thing before I saw this. I'll post if the answer is anything different, but I might also have to cancel there, as much as I'd like to support a F(not-so-)LGS.

I just got a notification that my package shipped and will arrive tomorrow. This is a pleasant surprise. Amazon claims the package has left the Amazon facility; Fedex just claims the shipping label has been created.

If you want Empires as soon as possible I would recommend Amazon Prime.

Well, I guess I'll not order from Miniature Market in the future. They're painfully slow. They have received my order, but there is no shipment yet. Man, this is taking awhile.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket. One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

'And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." - Moroni 7:41, the Book of Mormon

Ordered with Amazon 2-day yesterday. Originally expecting the delivery on Monday. It's now shipped, arriving Friday.

Mine says it's going to arrive sometime from the 10th to the 15th

Should have put a picture of Mint

It is a picture of Mint, I don't know what you're talking about...

My package did actually arrive at a FedEx facility this afternoon by the way, so we know Amazon actually got their copies of Empires and started sending them out. No idea why other retailers wouldn't have theirs already.

What kind of font is that!? That is the ugliest font in the history of the world. You're hard on everyone, Awaclus. I expected much better from you than that font. Man, at least use comic sans or papyrus or even copperplate for the ironic post. But that font, ugh, Awaclus, ugh. Why on earth did you pick that one!? I think this is the worst thing you've ever done. I think you could go into jail for a couple months for that font.
